It lives!

Howdy, blog-readers. After a protracted hiatus, I have returned to dip my toe once more into the inter-web's murky currents. Much has transpired with this house project over the almost 2.5 (!) years that's passed since I last posted to this blog. To bring things up to date, in a nutshell, I am just now getting ready for an occupancy inspection which I hope will happen in the first week of June - almost 5 years to the day that this project began!
Now, given that I have some catching up to do between where things actually are and where I last left them on this blog, I thought I would begin with a quick tour of the present state of things before I rewind to cover the missing processes that got me here.

Still plenty to do on the exterior (cladding for example), but things have gotten quite habitable inside.

Ventilation duct supports.

In an earlier post, I briefly described some ventilation duct supports that I needed to fabricate. I had four supports to make, two for the HRV (one for the intake vent and one for the exhaust vent), one for the dryer exhaust vent, and one for the electrical service conduit. Each vent (and the conduit) are supported at the rim board, but because of the thickness of the exterior wall, each needs to be supported again at the exterior face of the wall.



This is what I left off with in that earlier post - a 1/2" plywood panel, 2x2 flanges, 2 layers of 1 1/2" rigid foam insulation and the start of a hole. I used a hole saw to finish off each hole through the rigid foam.
